Captiva Scavenger Hunt: Capturing Captiva's Charm

Activity Info: Capturing Captiva's Charm

Have you ever watched a shipwreck movie and wondered why the castaway in question was in such a hurry to leave? Think about it–a whole island to yourself, white sand beaches, and crystal clear waters as far as the eye can see. It's not the worst setup! And, in fact, it's the origin story for contemporary Captiva, Florida. It's true. Captiva's very first homesteader arrived by shipwreck. Initially, he stayed only a few weeks, but he vowed to return, and he did. For a decade, he was the island's only resident. What happened then, you ask? Join us for the Capturing Captiva Scavenger Hunt, and find out!

This scavenger hunt will guide you and your team through the colorful streets of Captiva, Florida. You'll stumble upon stories of the people of Captiva, both past and present, who built the beautiful place we know today, including the story behind its penchant for vibrant colors. As you wander, you and your team will complete fun and challenging tasks that will test your wits and reveal hidden talents you never knew you had. Who knows, maybe you'll find yourself wishing that you, too, could be shipwrecked on Captiva Island!

You can do our interactive scavenger hunt at any time. Explore the sights of Captiva.
